PROPER D ISPOSAL

•

Remove the exterior and interior packing.

•

Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

1 Storage Basket

1 Instruction Manual

1 Ice Scraper

• Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This

will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth and

allow to completely dry before

closing the lid of the freezer.

BEFORE USING YOUR FREEZER

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

•

This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

•

Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

•

Allow

6 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air circulation.

•

Place the freezer away from direct sunlight and sour ces of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct

sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme

cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer to not perform properly.

• Avoid placing the freezer in damp areas.

• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for at least 2 hours before placing

food in the freezer compartment.

Check your local power source. This freezer requires a 120V, 60Hz power supply.

Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong

(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of

electric shock hazard from this appliance.

A. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

B. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord

should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding

-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

The freezer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that

matches the rating plate.

If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the

outlet.

Defrosting Your Freezer

When to Defrost

• For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost

on the freezer walls is excessive or 1/4 inch thick.

• Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.

Helpful Hints

• Defrosting usually takes a few hours, give yourself enough time to complete the process and be able

to keep the frozen food at the correct temperature.

• Leaving the lid of the freezer open will help speed the melting process.

• Pouring warm (not boiling) water on the ice/frost will help speed melting.

• Use the ice scraper only when necessary and exercise caution when using as it is very easy to

damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.

Steps to Defrost

1. Remove all frozen food from the freezer and place in another freezer or cooler to keep cold.

2. Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”.

3. Unplug the freezer from the outlet. The power indicator light should be off (green light out).

4. Remove the interior water drain cap on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.

5. During defrosting the ice melts into the cabinet and will drain out of the interior water drain to the

exterior drain located on the left side of the unit.

6. Place a shallow pan under the exterior drain outlet and ensure that it is positioned to collect the water.

7. Check the drain pan frequently so the water does not overflow.

8. Clean the interior of the freezer as directed in the cleaning section.

9. Replace the interior water drain cap on the inside floor.

10. Reset the thermostat to desired setting.

11. Operate the freezer without food for at least 2 hours to allow it to cool before placing food back inside.

NOTE

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

• Avoid putting large quantities of fresh or hot food into the freezer at the same time as the freezing

of these items could lower the efficiency of the freezer and drop the temperature of the interior

cabinet. Always allow hot food to fully cool before placing in the freezer.

•

Improper storage of food can alter the foods’ taste and texture. Always properly pack food in air

tight containers, heavy duty aluminum foil, plastic wrap or sealed plastic bags.

• A storage

basket is provided for the organization of smaller items. If storage basket is not

needed it can be removed from the unit. To access food below the basket, simply slide the basket

to one side or lift it out.

NOTE

• The freezer lid is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice buildup. Be sure to defrost when

the ice reaches ¼ inch thick.

CAUTION:

•

Once the freezer is operational, avoid direct contact with the freezer compartment wall and

surfaces, especially when skin is damp or wet as skin could adhere to these extremely cold

surfaces.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER (CONTINUED)

Energy Saving Tips

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or

heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer.Overloading the freezer forces

the compressor to run longer.Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry

before placing them in the freezer.This cuts

down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

• Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels.Liners

interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce lid openings and extended searches.Remove as many items as

needed at one time, and close the lid as

soon as possible.

Extended Vacation

Remove all the food.

Unplug the freezer.

Clean the freezer.

Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.

Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible for children to play with.

If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord.

Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the lid

open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the lid removed.

Moving Your Freezer

Remove all the food.

Securely tape freezer accessories (basket and ice scraper) inside your freezer.

Tape the lid shut.

Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation. Do not tilt freezer more than

a 45-degree angle as this could damage the compressor system.

Cleaning Your Freezer

Upon installation of your new appliance, it

is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.

Turn the thermostat control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage basket.

Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The solution

should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.

Be sure to keep the lid gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.

The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free and

running efficiently.
